Obama's Stimulus Plan Won't Stimulate

Not designed to stimulate. Designed to foment crisis.

I think you're right, and placate the people with hands out until then. (See, they'll say, he wants to help us...)

That is the mindset that voted this clown in.

I see that, too. So many confuse basic human rights with entitlements. And the higher education system is rich with lefties who prop each other up and 'educate' us. We are 'entitled' to certain freedoms or rights, like the right to free speech, the right to bear arms, certain unalienable rights. We aren't entitled just by virtue of surviving the womb.

The problem is that such projects take a long time to plan and longer to build. Their immediate economic impact is highly attenuated.

Now wait a minute. Everyone 'knows' that the Clinton years were sooooo good economically because of his immediate Midas Touch, and the Bush years so rotten because he quickly and efficiently, singlehandedly erased and destroyed the golden Clinton years. So how has the world of economics changed in just 5 short weeks so that Obama will need time and our patience? (end major sarcasm)

Oops, no contradiction here, nothing to see, as soon as the MSM spins the explanation, they'll share it with us....

Hint: Reagan's trickle down economics and Bush's legacy was laden with Clinton's baggage.
